CFL announces changes to the game - merged topics

[jets4life]

What a dumb arugment.

I think some people might just have more faith in Amar Dolman, Bob Young, Wade Miller, etc versus you and your ideas. I think it's reasonable to suspect they know what they are doing on this topic, wait for it, again....more than you.

I think anyone who steps aside and puts on adult clothing and looks at things rationally, sees that.

If you like American style fields, and rules, why don't you just move to the United States?

In any case, you are making the most ridiculous arguments for these catastrophic changes.

People have strong feelings on this subject but maybe let's wait to see how the new rules/arrangements play out. They are going to be implemented anyway.

That's like saying the Tariffs are going to be implemented anyway, let's just wait and see how they play out.

The problem is that once they're implemented, there's very likely no going back. If you think they are going to do damage, having this attitude is just rolling over.

Dissuading discussion is pretty counterintuitive to the point of this forum, isn't it?

But you're right that they're going to be implemented. We will "wait and see" - if the changes have a positive impact, result in growing the fanbase, and it turns out the elements being removed weren't as big a deal as some of us think, great. If the changes result in forever losing what many paying customers believe are some of the cultural/core identity pieces of the league and reduce their loyalty while simultaneously having nil effect on growing revenue, then what? In that case, well, we waited...and we saw...
